Thehandles are of moire ribbon, aud manyof them have jeweled or silver slidesThey are Just as pretty as they canbe, with a certain oldtlrney air thatgives them a cachet all their own. Theshape is repeated in bags of black tatfeta, pin-striped in white, but they arenot nearly so effective as the floweredbags.Some of these bags are quite imposIng in size, while others are of mediumsize. The all b'ack taffeta bags Insome instances are flnished with apleating of the taffeta about an inchto two Inches In width, and one ovalshaped black moire bag had a tinySwiss watch Inset in the front. Tinyas the watch was, it was guaranteedthat It would give the proper warningto the loitering shopper.Another quaint reticule of otherdays Is of moire in black and in thedark reds and browns and blues, withan elaborate embroidery of cut steelbeads. It is more unusual than thebeaded bags of other seasons, but notso effective.To carry with white linen and tubdresses there are bugs of white kidembroidered In the Algerian colors—blues and greens and reds.
